Is Wagner actually a man? Is he not rather a disease? Everything he touches falls ill; he has made music sick

Nothing on earth consumes a man more quickly than the passion of resentment

I conjure you, my brethren, to remain faithful to earth, and do not believe those who speak unto you of superterrestrial hopes! Poisoners they are, whether they know it or not.
